Battery Replacement and Disposal
The Kids Trax Toys 6V battery will eventually lose the ability to hold a charge. Depending on the amount of use,
and varying conditions, the battery should operate for one to three years. Follow these steps to replace and dispose
the battery:
1. Remove the car seat.
2. Disconnect the battery connectors.
3. Remove the metal battery bracket.
4. Carefully lift the battery.
• Depending on the condition of the battery (i.e.: leakage) you may want to wear protective gloves before removal.
• Do not lift the battery by its connectors or cables.
5. Place the dead battery in a plastic bag.
Important! Recycle the dead battery responsibly. The battery contains lead acid (electrolyte) and must be disposed
of properly and legally. It is illegal in most areas to incinerate lead acid batteries or dispose of them in landfills. Take
it to a federal or state approved lead acid battery recycler, such as a Kid Trax Toys authorized service center or your
local automotive battery retailer. Do not throw the battery away with your regular household trash!
6. Replace the battery with a Kid Trax Toys 6V battery and reconnect the connectors.
7. Replace the metal battery bracket.
8. Replace the seat.
The Kid Trax Toys 6V battery features a thermal fuse with a reset fuse that will automatically trip and cut all power to the
vehicle if the motor, electric system or battery is overloaded. The fuse will reset and power will be restored after the unit is
turned
OFF
for five minutes and then turned
ON
again. If the thermal fuse trips repeatedly during normal use, the vehicle
may need repair. Call Kid Trax Toys Consumer Relations at 877-741-6154 for an authorized service center.
To avoid losing power, follow these guidelines:
• Do not overload the vehicle.
• Do not tow anything behind the vehicle.
• Do not drive up steep slopes.
• Do not drive into fixed objects, which may cause the wheels to spin, causing the motor to overheat.
• Do not drive in very hot weather; components may overheat.
• Do not allow water or other liquids to come in contact with the battery or other electric components.
• Do not tamper with the electric system. Doing so may create a short, causing the fuse to trip.
